DE Lesseps Docs Not Consider the
Ntrnraxunu Project HurItnl.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The Standard Paris
correspondent says that in an interview
M. de Lesseps declared that he had
learned with pleasure of the formation Of
the Nicaragua company which, he said,
would improve the prospects of the
Panama Canal Company. The Nicaragua
enterprise being fresh water canal
would be useful as means of irrigating
and fertilizing the country. III. de Lesseps
secuted the idea that the Nicaragua enter
prise could be used for inter-oceanic
traffic as owing to endless locks increas-
ing the time Of transit vessels would pre-
fer going around Cape Horn.
Referring to the Panama canal, he said
the only point Of anxiety was the Rocky
Oulebra, although he was firmly con.
WINGED that the contract would be finished
within the specified lime. The WORK
would soon be pushed day and night
lighting the culebra by means of electric
lights. The directors Of the company
anticipate that the work accomplished il
1887 will be double that done in 1886.
